What students learn in AC9E7LY07
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Plan, create, rehearse and deliver presentations for purposes and audiences.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: plan, create, rehearse and deliver presentations for purposes and audiences in ways that may be imaginative, reflective, informative, persuasive and/or analytical, by selecting text structures, language features, literary devices and visual features, and using features of voice including volume, tone, pitch and pace.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- preparing a presentation combining print, visual and audio elements to explore and interpret ideas, drawing on knowledge and research about ideas and opinions different from students’ own selecting features of voice, such as tone, volume, pitch and pace, for different audiences and purposes, recognising the effects these have on audience understanding and engagement
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
